To ALL. WHoM 1T MAY ooNonnN: y

V 'Be it known that I, EDWIN I-IOY'T, of Stamford,in Athc county ofFairfield, and Stateot Connecticut, have invented a new and usefulImprovement Vin vTobacco Pipes; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a clear and exact'dcscription of the same, reference beinghad to rthcfaccompanying drawing, which forms part of .this

specification.

My invention consists in the combination with the howl and stem of atobacco pipe of a saliva and nicotine c up having a perforated top,which cup is placed in the bottom of the bowl oi' the pipe in suchmanner that a tube which it carries will communicate with the exteriorof the bowl, ,the said tube carrying a eap'or bulb on its lower endwhichmay be removed for emptying out the sal-iva and nicotine; the said cup'being also provided with an aperture in one of its sides, into' whichisthrust the neck of a socket for holding'the stem, or theend ofthe stemitself, as will be hereinafter described.

A designates the bowl of the pipe, 'and B the stem thereof, either ofwhich may beef any proper form. I will, however, add that in the presentv'instance the bowl is of a construction which renders it veryinexpensive to make it., It will be noticed that it has a samcness ofshape which is easily turned and'bored to form the said bowl. It willtherefore be seen` that my improvements, presently to be described,admit of the use of a bowl whichvcostsexceedingly little to make. C isthe saliva and nicotine cup. This may bc made of a iat circular piece ofmetal struck up in successive dies till of the right shape to form thesides of the cup aswell as ,the i tube, a. This-.cup is' provided with aperforated top, b, (see more-particularlyiig. 2;) and` the tube a has 0,

screw-thread cut upon its lower end, (see iig. 2,) upon which is fittedto screw a cap'orl a bulb, c, see iig. 1. I will, however, here remarkthat`v the screw-thread could be dispensed with, and the cap'or bulb befitted sutiiciently tightly to hold its position by friction. D is asocket for receiving the stem of the pipe.. This may be secured directlyinto a hole made in the side of the bowl-as shown in iig. 1 of thedrawing-or it may be secured into a female-screw ring set into theholeinthe side of the bowl. j This latter, though-not shown in the drawing,would be preferable, as the thread, if in the wood, lwould be likelysoon to wear out. l The socket D carries a neck, d, which protrudesthrough the opening, e, in the cup, C, as shown clearly in iig. 1. Intothis socket D is fitted the lower end of the stem B of the pipe.

From the above description it will be seen'that the cup C serves as anicotine receptacle and a salive. receptacle. Upon its top is placed thetobacco, and the smoke is drawn through into itsbody, where it is cooledvery quickly indeed, surrounded on all sides as it is .by metal; and themetal is not likely to become heated unless, perhaps, `when the verylast of the .tobacco is burning; hence a more complete-and perfectclarifying of the smoke is insured. The nicotine and other poisonousmatters fall to the bottom of the cup and into the tube a, and, if abulb is employed, down still further into that; and in either case itisquite impossible to draw it up into the mouth, as it cannot reach the.lower end of thestem of the pipe. The saliva which, in smoking, islikely to get into the stem of the pipe, will run down into the cup C,and follow the same course Aas the nicotine); but if it shouldA notreadily run down therein it can quickly be forced down by merely blowinginto the stem.

In using the pipe it will not be necessary often to remove the cup fromthe bowl, for any ashes, saliva, or nicotine which it may contain willrun out of the tube a: on removing the cap or bulb c. If, however, itshould be desirable to remove the cup to thoroughly cleanse it, bydipping it in alcohol, or otherwise, the socket canlbc unscrewed and thecap or bulb can be removed, when the cup can be taken from out the bowl.A tobacco pipe thus made presents a very neat appearance, and theexpense of manufacturing it exceeds but a few cents the cost ofmanufacturing common mahogany or brief-Wood pipes.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The nicotine and saliva cup C, in combination with the bowl of atobacco pipe, constructed and arranged substantially as hereinspecified.

2. The socket D, provided with a neck d, in combination with the cup C,bowl A, and stem B, substantially as and for the purposes hereinspeeiiied;

3. The combination of Athe cup C, bowl A, cap or bulb e, socket D, andstem B, substantially as herein shown and described.
